Mum came for a week's respite care. It was the first time Mum had been away from me in 18 months and she and I were really apprehensive.
All the staff were so welcoming and reassuring, answering all questions openly. Mum was very settled within no time and has thoroughly enjoyed her time here.
Her
care has been excellent and will definitely be returning.

My mum became a resident in February - she has Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. She has settled in well due to the care and attention of the staff. She has gained weight (which is good as she is very slim) and this is due to the good quality food! She has lots of stimulation provided by the wide range
of activities provided and when my father passed away on 9/3/17 the staff were so kind and lovely not only to my mum but also to me - it is a lovely place for my mum.

We could not find any other home to provide care for my sister. There is a warmth and understanding by all, not only for patients but also relatives, which is so helpful. So often we (relatives) do not know how to handle situations and Avery are prepared to guide us as to how best to deal with issues
created by the relative in care. this in my opinion is so very important.

care is not to be bettered. My father was a resident from December 2010 to date. All the staff are friendly and approachable. It is a caring environment that puts the residents first.

We are happy overall with the service and car provided for our mother who has been a resident on Horse Fairs Dementia floor for 3+ years.


Recently I am slightly concerned with the turnover rate of senior care staff on the unit. I appreciate that individual staff members need to progress in their

careers but we seem to lose some for the best team members quite frequently. Leading to a lack of adequate supervision of more junior carers.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.799) out of 10 for Horse Fair Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.799 for Horse Fair Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (337 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 413 Ratings = 4.799

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Horse Fair Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 35 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
